During our tests, we observed that Avast was able to identify many different threats swiftly and efficiently. The scan was completed in 6 minutes and 50 secs, which is impressive considering that it scanned close to 2 million files.
Avast’s tendency to flag certain programs as dangerous was disappointing. During our testing, the program identified legitimate applications five times when it detected malicious programs during system scans on Windows which is two times higher than industry standard. It only happens in rare instances, and you can easily send the file to be reviewed to determine a fix if Avast detects the file by accident.
